Change Watchface Brightness in Android Wear

Question

How can I change brightness of watch using Android Wear SDK (in my code) while my watch-face is running. I want to keep brightness lower than the lowest level of Android Wear brightness settings.

Are you talking about the "active" phase of your watchface or when it is in ambient? — Ali Naddaf, Jan 19 '16 at 06:25
Have you tried the usual android approach to change the brightness? — Ali Naddaf, Jan 19 '16 at 06:26
Do you mean programmatically you have set the brightness to minimum and it is still too bright? — Ali Naddaf, Jan 19 '16 at 15:04

I found a solution, yes it's vivid! But it's not working in ambient mode on most watches:

private void updateBrightness() {
            android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE, Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_MANUAL);
            if (!mAmbient)
                android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS, getBrightness());
            else
                android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS, getAmbientBrightness());
        }
